Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

I would ask you to pause here and ask yourself: what exact methods did “the centre left” use to “fight back”? Are those methods available to Sensible Tories. Can they, say, rely on the national press to devote five years to stoking deranged hate for the Tory right? I would say: no.

ooooh I have a theory on that - I think a crucial difference between the centre left and centre right is that the former has more of a sense of where it stands ideologically and historically, eg away from wherever the Labour party is at that point in time, whereas the latter only ever tethers...

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1/

If you want to know why progressive values are under attack look to the spending of the billionaires and our weak or malignant press. Those they are using their wealth to target, those who never had power and now have even less, are not the people to blame.

Some of the usual chants at the #GeorgiaProtests: “Until the end!” “The end of winter is coming - the people’s spring is arriving!” “Georgia, revolt!” “We won’t stop, schedule the elections!”

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

From my recent experience, the police took me to the local city jail (credit to HBPD, they were polite and professional the entire time), where they searched me and put me in a cell. Then I had to wait while they figured out what I was getting charged with (disrupting an assembly)

"Let's start with an indisputable fact: the blame for every death in this war lies with Putin." My fortnightly column for the Welwyn Hatfield Times sets out why the UK must redouble our support for the brave people of Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇬🇧 www.whtimes.co.uk/news/2494365...

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

Amazing up-is-down, black-is-white, Russian style guide communication on full display here. And to be clear. Russians tarted this by invading Ukraine. Without any provocation for it. That's the reality.

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was: * first awarded under Trump * paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom * for researching *defenses* against deception * not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

Some people can change. Nobody is irredeemably evil, I have to believe this. And I think Kristol has begun to put the work in. It’s important that people like Kristol speak up and use their position for good; it’s important that we cultivate trustworthy allies, not shut them out in the cold

I'm begging someone to ask Badenoch about this. I suspect her desperation to stay aligned with the far-right Maga types might genuinely lead to her agreeing that she's not truly British.

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

Just watched the new Captain America film. Really good. Marvel are back on form. And they had 3 emotional support dogs!

An astonishing thing happened yesterday at the Justice Department, one that surpassed even the biggest firing scandal of the Nixon era. The Department and its leaders are reeling, and the political repercussions are now rippling out. My write-up: https://buff.ly/41h7EMv
